I love that merchant, everytime he appears in RE4 I usually start proclaiming my love for him... and his guns. What a wonderful story and original to boot. Kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason. Still I love how you've made the Merchant and Ashley in this story. Now I'm going to be expecting the Merchant to pull out a tea pot everytime I meet him hehehe.

Wonderful and I hope you think about about writing another Merchant based fic again :D
